Threading Operation
Make sure oil is flowing into the head of the bar threader.
If it is, then with the right hand handle move the body of
the bar threader forward. Apply pressure on the handle once
the cutters are in contact with the bar, for at least one half
turn of the handle. After this initial engagement the body
of the machine will move forward automatically. Once the body of the machine stops moving forward it is
time to again move the machine carriage and the control
ring handle all the way back to the right.
Holding the machine carriage all the way back, move the
step drum to the next forward notch. Refer to reference
chart for # of passes. After the last threading pass, move the machine carriage
and the control ring handle all the way back to the right.
Position the control ring in the same notch you used for the
first pass. The bar threader is now ready for the next bar.
